The Story of the Woodworking Stripper
It began several years ago when the custom woodworker, Jerry joined the Marion County Aquaholics. Paddling along gorgeous Florida rivers and streams, the woodworker developed an idea to build his own kayak.
After many hours of research the kayak model (18’ Guillemot) was chosen. How exciting it was on the day the plans arrived. How sad it was to see them collecting dust in the corner for the next year or so.
Low & behold, there was another woodworker named Wayne, also a member of the Aquaholics who had been wanting to build a kayak too ! He had also decided on that very same model !
While Jerry’s plans continued to collect dust, Wayne was off and running ! He built the framework and using his photography skills, captured an 8x10 just for Jerry !
Well, look out ! Everybody out of Jerry’s way ! He was NOT about to let Wayne get ahead of him ! It was time to begin ! He got the plans out and began building his 18’ strip kayak. It’s become an obsession. He works on the kayak day and night.
